Decided yesterday to run 16 miles have a wee break for a sandwich and a bag of crisps then run another 16 miles as a sort of simulation of day one.
Sound's simple enough, but I went out too fast on the first lap leaving me sapped for energy on the second and it lashed down all morning.
I still managed 33 miles in 4hrs 50 (not including time stopped to eat) so it wasn't all bad but do seem to have had my first encounter with shin splints.
Been a bit of a learning curve this weekend but the legs coped well.
Off road running only until the big day I think!
